Hi all
This is my first post and I am after any answers from professionals or my own side of the fence.
Recently i had a op on my finger and a fracture on my other hand.
The one question i have to ask why would 2 specialist doctors including GP conclude everything is fine without an after surgery and fracture scan.
In both cases (it was only until i phoned a private health service did I find out the correct procedure) the NHS doctors assumed everything was fine by just looking or touching my hands.
Now I'm in constant pain after 8 months and finding it hard to even type or find an employeer willing to take the chance... without hands it kinda puts a crimp on ones future career.
To add to insult the social doctor (another one who cant speak english to well) did a single test of hands arms bending etc etc.. I was also asked can i pickup and move a bag of potatos and turn pages in a book... note ASKED! not actually tested.
from a medical perspective every doctor i asked this laughed at these kind of tests.... what exactly do they prove in terms of "fit for work".
constant pain is your body telling you something is wrong ... but who cares right!
let me know your thoughts.... ive clearly had enough and will be taking the doctors and the morons in change to court... including the dam politician who came up with this nonsense...
